The Particular Joy
of Hand-Dyed Yarn
Choosing colours, trying patterns, and making something by hand are part of the pleasure of knitting and crochet.
A knitting or crochet project can begin with a pattern or with a colour. Fibre artists choose yarn for its shade, texture, and how it will look in the finished piece.
With hand-dyed yarn, colours can shift along the strand. The pattern and stitch affect how those colours appear in the fabric. Knitters and crocheters can try a swatch to see the result before starting a larger project.
Wild Woollys makes hand-dyed yarn in colourways including Autumn Mocha, Woodland Christmas, and Obsidian Nights. The collection includes tonal and variegated yarns, along with coordinated sock sets.
For many fibre artists, making the piece is as enjoyable as using it. A sweater, shawl, or pair of socks is a chance to work with favourite colours and make something to wear or give to someone else. Explore the collection →
